About this study

Patients with metabolic syndrome living in Seoul area are included in this prospective registry for more than 10 years. All enrolled patients undergo thorough medical history survey. Enrolled patients will have coronary CT, 2D echocardiogram, treadmill test, pulse wave velocity, augmentation index, carotid intima-media thickness, and abdominal fat mass evaluation. Moreover, lipid profiles and inflammatory markers such as hsCRP, IL-6, TNF-alpha, VCAM-1, ICAM-1, adiponectin, MMP-9 will be measured. All participants will repeat the test and survey every year in Korea University Hospital.
